It's Bicycle Bash time again!
SWFBUD invites all bicyclists in the Tampa Bay area and Florida to attend the 2011 SWFBUD Bicycle Bash Festival -- a day to celebrate bicycling in the Tampa Bay area.
Your hosts are the 11 bicycle stores in SWFBUD, which stands for South West Florida Bicycle United Dealers. Your SWFBUD bike shops are Carrollwood Bicycle Emporium, Oliver's Cycle Sports in new Tampa, Just Ride Bicycles in Lithia, Street Fit 360 in south Tampa, Bicycle Outfitters in Seminole, Chainwheel Drive in Clearwater, ABC Bicycles in St. Petersburg, University Bicycle Center in north Tampa, the Trek Store of Clearwater and South Tampa, The Ironman Store in new Tampa, and the Trek Store of St. Petersburg. SWFBUD also includes three lawyer/bicycle advocates -- Thomas Singletary, J. Steele Olmstead and the Mark Roman Law Group.
Support those people because they make the Bicycle Bash possible every year.
The Bicycle Bash's presenting sponsor is the Cure on Wheels bike ride, which drew 350 riders last year and raised more than $160,000 for local cancer causes at Moffitt Cancer Center and All Children's Hospital. The Cure on Wheels ride is one day before the Bicycle Bash on Saturday, Nov. 5, also at Flatwoods.
The Bicycle Bash's co-sponsor is Hillsborough County, which manages beautiful Flatwoods Park. Amd SWFBUD welcomes a new Bicycle bash sponsor this year -- American Traffic Solutions.
This is the 5th annual Bicycle Bash and each year it's amazing to see the wide variety of bicyclists and age groups who attend the Bash. This year we will have our bike stores, lawyers, and bike and healh vendors on hand. Plus music, food and free bike gear giveaways courtesy of the SWFBUD bike shops.
We will have the usual swap meet and also some great guests such as Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn and Hillsborough County Commissioners. Plus, we will also have a bouncy house for the kids.
And don't forget the SWFBUDDY Awards -- honors that are publicly given to those in Tampa Bay who have stepped up to make our area more bicycle-friendly.
If you want to be a sponsor, vendor, or volunteer at the Bicycle Bash on Nov 6 from 10 am to 4 pm, contact alansnel@yahoo.com.
